Because a movie is recorded onto the media as it is shot, it cannot be recorded correctly if the camera
suddenly loses power (if you open the battery cover or slot cover or disconnect the AC power adapter).

You can use the zoom while shooting.
When zooming switches between digital and
optical, the “ ■ ” indicator stops. Slide the button
further in the same direction to move the “ ■ ”
mark and switch zoom modes.
